Context

Transmission electronic microscopes are the most sophisticated laboratory instruments that are used today. Platform Software is essential into exploiting all the potential of these microscopes, pushing the limits of current physical technologies. These tools and our software applications are used by scientists and engineers in life science, material sciences and semiconductor industry, indirectly affecting our life in many aspects. By contributing into this platform software, you might help developing better vaccines, new lighter and stronger materials, or more efficient semiconductors.

Location / division team

The Automation group is one of the pillars of the Research and Development organization for High-End Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM). This group is committed to develop groundbreaking technologies and software that enable us to deliver world class TEM microscopes for our demanding markets and customers.

With the ongoing developments in physics and industry the requirements for optical performance of these TEM microscopes are continuously growing. Aligning well with Advanced Technology Development and several selected collaborating partners this group is striving to convert the most promising technological concepts into real products for creating and guiding electron beams for imaging with near-perfect optical performance.

Our team members are very proud of their contributions to provide solutions for our customers that enable them to make our world cleaner, healthier and safer.

Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be part of an enthusiastic multi-disciplinary Global Automation team. You will be responsible for software design and implementation from concepts towards introduction in the factory.
Objective of the Global Automation team is to improve ease-of-use for our customers and performance of the Electron Microscope (throughput, repeatability, image quality etc.) through all kind of system automation. The automation is achieved through (complex) algorithms. Soon we expect Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) will become part of our solution space.
You will work closely together with other subject areas such as system engineering, customer service and operations.
The team is also responsible for maintenance, continuous improvements and collaboration with other software development teams. The developments are done in multi-disciplinary teams across multiple sites in Europe and the US.
Software development takes place in an agile environment where the SAFe framework is applied. You will contribute to sprint reviews, sprint retrospectives and sprint planning. Together with the product owner, the scrum master and the development team members you are involved in refining the backlog.
